Middle Fork Snoqualmie Fly Fishing (Beginner)

Fly fishing at Middle Fork, Snoqualmie Washington to practice my casting. A definite improvement from the last video. I still have a lot to learn though, so don't roast me. Feedback's are welcome.

The middle fork fishes a lot better later in the summer, like now. Here I see you are fishing during the spring runoff, where the river is quite inflated. This stream already has pretty low densities of trout and adding more water doesn't help. If I was you on the day you filmed I would have tried to target much slower moving water with structure at the beginning of a run. I would probably also swing a soft hackle fly tied behind a heavier streamer, something like a wooly bugger. After a cast or two I would step down a few feet, a similar practice used for steelhead fishing.

Beautiful video, when I first started casting I really learned that keeping your wrist and arm position as inline with your torso is what generated the most smooth cast. I noticed that you tend to move your whole arm and torso back and forth a fair distance, but really keeping the wrist and arms as close to you and stopping on a dime (not too aggressively) is what allows for a smooth cast and tighter loops. Tight lines! Great improvement from the last.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a feedback. I will make sure to practice having a tight line with my arms moving as a unit. I appreciate you!!

I recommend when casting to really use your thumb and wrist, especially when casting streamers if you cast forward and push your thumb hard and let your wrist follow the fly will dart forward and you’ll get some good distance

Thank you for the feedback. I really appreciate it. I will definitely try your suggestion when I'm out in the water again :)
